I don't recall ever saying the officer himself was a racist. He is a murderer though. You don't kill people for jay walking. You don't even kill people for resisting arrest. If this kid didn't have a gun, I can't think of any acceptable reason to kill him. The fact that he may have committed a crime before he was murdered changes nothing. It doesn't matter if it's about race or not. Not to me at least. It matters that a police officer, sworn to serve and protect citizens, murdered a kid.
Really?? You sound like you think the cop just up and decided to pop a black boy in the middle of the street.
That's very dishonest. The cop surely didn't want to shoot the boy, as far as we hear, the cop was a very nice fellow. His job is to maintain order and enforce the law and if Michael Brown had followed his lawful order to exit the middle of the street and not attack the cop, none of this would have happened.
Michael brown alone was responsible for his fate. He attacked a policemen whose job requires him to protect himself and maintain control of his weapon. No reliable evidence has shown that the policeman did anything that he wasn't trained to do by the State of Missouri.
If you and Min think it is unconscionable for a cop to shoot an unarmed 6'4" ~300lb man who is attacking him, then blame the state that trained him to shoot in that situation. As far as I'm aware, all police are trained to do exactly the same.
